Our lives in the Peace Corps

My morning commute is a pleasant seven minute bike ride from our house to my office at the tea cooperative. I start on a quiet dirt road where I pass an occasional motorcycle or car. I have a short ride on a busier street where there are a lot more motorcycles and cars. Finally I take a small path through fields.

Mat — Peace Corps rules: no driving motobikes though I’ve been told that volunteers here were issued motobikes years ago. I imagine that ended poorly. When you come to visit, I’ll ride on the back of yours. On second thought… now that I remember your driving, I’ll ride my bicycle behind you.
